    Seal coating the lot

    Guys I dont recommend sealing car wash lots. I own 2 washes and I also have a sealing and striping business. One of the biggest issues with our parking lots is tire shine! Also wax's, and protectants that we use are all over our lots. Most sealers are water based products. They cant stick to the...

    Weep system

    A weepmizer is a controller to turn on/off power to solenoid. it cycles solenoid for different times at different temp points. Not sure what your using to turn it off./on?

    Weep system

    The solenoid should be a normally open solenoid. That way if the electric goes out during a freeze your bays wont freeze up. So if your using a weepmizer to control it when the weepmizer output 1 is on the solenoid should be closed. When its off the solenoid should be weeping. Hope this helps.

    What would a fair resale price be (as a percent of original price)?

    Wondering why you would need to replace a machine with only 40k washes on it? The razor is all stainless, all parts available and repair/replaceable/ungradable. If they are neglected machines, a refurb could be done. I would think general rule of thumb would be about half on a new machine give...

    Need some advice with a Unitec Portal

    So I'm reading this post. I have a portal and have spoken numerous times with Cryptopay about this. Unitec doesnt seem to want to work with them on this? I assume Unitec gets a piece of the pie from the processor? Maybe? So then I am thinking the Portal is an MDB Unit, both coin acceptor and...

    Wash World HV and 1st and 2nd pass soaps

    Pink tip is tiny, white tip is not. I am thinking you should probably be using a purple on your 1B. I cant remember what I was using while running kleen track. I believe pink or purple on both. I believe I was using a white tip on the powder tank. Also what size injectors? Are they both the same...

    How much revenue loss to expect from new nearby carwash?

    My response would be that "the current owner knows about this" Why didnt he mention it? I agree with the other responses except that I wouldnt be surprised if he hurts even more then the 40% mentioned due to the free vacs. You dont hear too much about free vacs in SS IBA world, we just dont have...

    Cameras

    I have a 2k ip Lorex system and its great. I can pull in tag numbers from multiple locations at my wash. A user on another wash site recommends not getting 16 channel systems, but get multiple 8 camera systems. With the higher quality cameras the bandwidth just gets to be too much, plus...

    can anyone be accountable

    If I have someone that does that after asking nicely I will park my truck in front of their truck so they have to back out over the debris they just dumped. As I sit in my truck and talk on the phone or browse the web and they ask me to move I just shake my head and say back out. When they give...

    What combo vacs to buy?

    check your timers have the capability to have the switching feature. If not and they are coleman timers they can be updated to do so. The only other issue is the time left. If insufficient time they will not switch.
